In the last few years, asset owners, asset managers, independent engineers and academics have reported underperformance across their solar asset portfolios as compared with pre-construction P50 energy production estimates. A number of causes of bias in P50 estimates have recently been identified that had not been historically captured, notably sub-hourly clipping losses, terrain shading losses and wind-stow losses. Natural Power has completed an audit of its current generation modeling methods that include advance modeling techniques and validated them against actual project performance.
